Ella Fitzgerald feat. Buddy Bregman & Buddy Bregman and His Orchestra - Manhattan Lyrics

Lyrics Manhattan - Ella Fitzgerald feat. Buddy Bregman and His Orchestra



Summer journeys to Niagara
And to other places aggravate all our cares
We'll save our fares
I've a cozy little flat in
What is known as old Manhattan
We'll settle down
Right here in town
We'll have Manhattan
The Bronx and Staten Island too
It's lovely going through the zoo
It's very fancy on old Delancey Street, you know
The Subway charms us so
When barmy breezes blow to-and-fro
And tell me what street
Compares with Mott Street in July?
Sweet pushcarts gently gliding by
The great big city's a wonderous toy
Just made for a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhatten into an isle of joy
We'll go to Yonkers
Where true love conquers in the whiles
And starve together dear in Chiles
We'll go to Coney and eat baloney on a roll
In Central Park we'll stroll
Where our first kiss we stole
Soul to soul
And 'My Fair Lady' is a terrific show,they say
We both may see it close some day
The city's glamour can never spoil
The dreams of a boy and girl
We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy
